I would get slapped with a restraining order for stalking if I'd do this IRL. But companies successfully convinced themselves that targetted ads are effective, completely ignoring the reality that everybody is just fed up by them. Browsing the web without an adblocker is atrocious and it feels like they are trying to bully you into buying their nonsense.

I think that all started in the 90s when the focus on brand recognition was insane and actually resonated with society for reasons unbeknownst to me. The shit that's happening now is just the resulting endgame. We 90s kids really fucked up, I'm sorry.
